Whistleblowers reveal extent of Facebook censorship

Whistleblowers have leaked internal Facebook documents showing the social media giant has been using a specially created algorithm to demote what it deems to be vaccine hesitant content. The two insiders shared explosive documents revealing the extent to which Facebook has been suppressing its users freedom of speech on their own posts using a system known as Vaccine Hesitance Comment Demotion system with Project Veritas. The stated goal of the system is to drastically reduce the exposure of Facebook users to anything it feels engenders vaccine hesitancy be they comments, videos or images. The whistleblowers' claim that likes on so called vaccine hesitant information have been reduced by 42.5%. They also claim that Facebook is playing a game that makes them appear as though they’re not doing much, when actually it's created an entire system specifically to deal with vaccine hesitancy. This level of censorship now being employed by private social media giants, has never been seen before in the Western world. It’s no longer a skirmish around the edges of free speech, but a complete frontal assault on our rights and liberties — freedoms which also affect our access to information which in turn affects our right to make informed decisions about how to manage our health.

Podcast: How to transform your health

For those of you that love a podcast, ANH-Intl founder, executive & scientific director Rob Verkerk PhD, was interviewed for CNM’s Natural Health Podcast.

Settle down with a cup of something relaxing for a fascinating and engaging conversation.

CBD bill introduced in the US

The Hemp Access and Consumer Safety Act introduced to the US Senate is designed to legalise CBD and other hemp-derived ingredients in dietary supplements, foods and drinks.

Gene editing by the back door in Canada

Health Canada is reported to be planning to allow the sale of genetically engineered foods with little or no safety oversight. A recent public consultation took place on proposed changes to Canada’s novel foods regulations. If the recommendations made in the consultation are adopted it could mean the introduction of unregulated genetically engineered foods across Canada. As yet another government caves to pressure from Big Biotech effectively giving them carte blanche to do as they like, sound science and transparency around such technologies seem to be being thrown out of the window.

Healthy lifestyle reduces dementia risk

We have long been banging the drum of making diet and lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of developing dementia. Now research due to be presented at the American Heart Association’s Epidemiology, Prevention, Lifestyle & Cardiometabolic Health Conference 2021 is also showing that adopting a healthy lifestyle can lower dementia risk amongst those at higher risk due to family history. In other research published in Alzheimer's Research & Therapy Alzheimer’s sufferers put on a ketogenic diet experienced improvements in daily function and quality of life. Our Food4Health campaign has all the information you need and more to make the changes needed to reduce your risk of developing dementia later in life. For those looking for more information on treatment for Alzheimer's and dementia, we suggest looking at Dr Dale Bredesen's protocol and then finding a suitably qualified practitioner in your own country.
